Chapter 161 Determined to be Missing
There are six combinations in martial arts.
The three external combinations are: shoulders and hips, elbows and knees, hands and feet.
The three internal combinations are: combination of mind and intention, intention and qi, and qi and strength.
Long-term practice of the External Three Combinations can correct your posture, stabilize your body's center of gravity, and increase your movements.
Practicing the Three Inner Harmonies for a long time can help you concentrate, communicate with your mind and energy, and double your work efficiency.
Beginners of the boxing, because they are unfamiliar with the movements, nervous and awkward, lose the "harmony", so they need to stand in a stance.
The purpose of practicing standing meditation is to achieve the three-in-one combination of internal and external, and to achieve the six-in-one combination, so that the fighting style can be natural.
But there is a sequence in the practice of fighting methods.
Capturing is a dead end, holding is a live end. First use fists and then kicks to capture. Only after you have successfully captured someone can you use weapons.
Weapons are extensions of the hands and feet, the so-called unity of man and weapon, yin inside, yang outside, inside and outside are integrated into one. If one form is not smooth, it is difficult to practice other forms!
"It takes an ordinary person three to five years to master the art of boxing and kicking. Li Libo and Chen Jiechang have broken through the skin barrier and are much stronger than ordinary people, but they only know basic skills. If they meet a martial arts master, they can be defeated by ordinary people."
This is why realm does not necessarily represent combat power.
Without martial arts, one point of strength can only produce one point of effect. But after learning martial arts, one point of strength can have the effect of ten points of strength.
Some people are so naturally gifted that practicing and breaking through barriers is like eating and drinking, and one year of their effort is equivalent to five or six years of effort for others.
But other people have been doing this for five or six years and have already mastered their martial arts. If the gap is not too big, they still have a chance of winning.
Just like Liang Qu himself, who was gifted by nature, he passed all four levels in half a year. But for others, half a year's effort would only be enough to prove his skills.
Fortunately, he was favored by Emperor Liangqu Youchuan, and he practiced and mastered martial arts quickly, especially in long weapons. As if with divine help, his progress was faster than any other weapons.
In half a year, he learned how to use the spear as if he had practiced it for five or six years.
If this is the case with long weapons, then the bow should also...
Liang Qu lowered his eyes and looked at the black iron bow in his hand.
He wore a crescent-shaped slingshot on his waist and held a three-pointed, double-edged spear in his hand.
This sentence describes the Emperor of Sichuan, also known as Erlang Shen.
Erlang Shen's slingshot is not an ordinary branch-like slingshot, but an ancient slingshot in the shape of a bow.
The ancient slingshot, minus the leather bag in the center of the string, is used to launch projectiles. Its shape is exactly the same as that of an arrow bow!
What can be seen in all the portraits of Emperor Chuanzhu is a large bow that is no different from an ordinary bow.
The only difference is that one shoots an arrow and the other shoots a projectile.
"try again!"
With the rough pull just now, Liang Qu failed to pull it open completely. This time, he adjusted his body shape, spread his legs, stood up straight, and pulled the bow again.
Click!
Waves of teeth-grinding twisting sounds came from the bow arms.
Liang Qu's blood flowed and he exerted his strength. In front of the shocked eyes of others, he pulled the huge black iron bow open.
Everyone was dumbfounded. This bow was used by gang leader Liu Jie, and it was made entirely of black iron!
Does this mean that the young man in front of him is also at the peak of galloping horses?
call!
After half a breath, Liang Qu could no longer hold on and slowly retracted the bow.
Too forced.
A suitable bow should be able to be pulled open and held for at least three breaths to be considered suitable for use.
The main weights and measures of Dashun were shi, jun and jin. One shi was five jun, one jun was thirty jin, and one shi was one hundred and fifty jin.
This black iron bow must be hundreds of pebbles in weight...
A trained soldier can usually use a bow weighing about 35 kilograms, which means that the force used to use the bow is far less than a person's actual strength.
A bow weighing a hundred stones is already an extremely exaggerated level.
Liang Qu sighed.
In terms of strength alone, he is still not as good as Liu Jie, and the gap is huge.
"It's still thanks to the underwater conditions."
Being able to breathe underwater and ignore water resistance is a complete trade-off.
On shore, we must still keep a low profile.
But the good news is that, although it may be a little difficult to use temporarily, the satisfaction you get when drawing the bow is the same as when practicing with a gun!
The favor of the Emperor of Sichuan really helps in learning archery!
Liang Qu's eyes sparkled and he was quite excited.
"Biting off more than you can chew" is the common saying for people with average talent. They have to learn one thing in their lifetime, and they may not even understand it. But for Liang Qu, it is called "more skills are better than less"!
He turned to look at the gang members.
"Does this bow have arrows?"
“Yes, yes, yes, they are all here!”
A gang member brought a quiver and Liang Qu took it. The arrows inside were all over three feet long, pitch black, with cold and shining arrowheads.
Liang Qu nodded, lowered the string on the black iron bow and placed it in the quiver.
"Wrap them all carefully, nothing can be leaking, if anything is leaking, I'll use your head to fill it!
The rest of you, take all your belongings and go to the county town now!"
……
At the Pingyang County pier, the tower ship was gently swaying in the river breeze.
In the filing room, martial artists shuttled between long boards to receive appropriate tasks, or went with their colleagues to find the chief clerk to register their military merits.
As time went by at Hebo, more and more martial artists came to join, and the place became more popular.
But Li Shoufu had a worried look on his face, holding the wolf-hair brush, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Li Zhubu?"
"Li Zhubu!"
The martial artist's voice was a little louder, awakening Li Shoufu who was in a daze.
Li Shoufu looked around and realized that he was abnormal. He apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't sleep well last night. Are you here to receive the mission?"
The martial artist didn't think much of it, nodded, and took out a file and his own file page.
After Li Shoufu finished registering the information and handed over the album, his colleague Huang Pingchang, the chief clerk, asked curiously.
"What happened? Why have you been so uneasy all day? And it seems to me that you started yesterday."
He joked, "Why, did your boss give you a hard time? Or did you fall for a girl from a certain family, but she's already married?"
Li Shoufu's expression froze, and seeing that there was no one around, he sighed heavily.
"Hey, stop talking, it's none of them. I might really be in trouble."
Huang Pingchang was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"A few days ago, I had a mission to go to the neighboring Fengbu County to deal with a monster that was harming people. At that time, there were only two river gods and river chiefs, and there was no one around, so I gave it to a river god named Liang to deal with it."
Huang Pingchang looked serious: "Liang Hebo? Could he be related to Xu Tiling? Nothing will happen to him, right?"
"I don't know. There has been no news of him coming back yet. But he took the mission on a Friday, and today is also a Friday. It will be seven days tonight, so he will be considered missing..."
Huang Pingchang was shocked: "What were you thinking, assigning the task to such a person with connections?"
"I couldn't do anything. There was no one around at the time. Plus, he was pretty strong. He could bring back four or five small skills every night. Even the horse-running martial artists weren't that strong. I thought nothing would happen and he would be back in a few days. Who would have thought..."
Li Shoufu had a sad face.
If something really happened to Liang Qu, there was no way that Captain Xu would let him go. He would most likely lose his official hat.
"What should we do? Have you informed Xu Ti Ling?"
"not yet……"
"I already know."
Li Shoufu trembled all over and turned around stiffly.
"Master Xu...Master Xu, you...you didn't go fishing?"
Xu Yuelong's face turned dark.
He went fishing, but halfway through, he discovered that the bait in the bucket was gone.
He remembered what he had heard a few days ago, that a small fishing gang relied on a magical bait to catch several times more fish than other fishermen, so he thought about coming back to get some silver and buy some from someone.
I never expected to hear Li Shoufu's discussions across the deck.
"Tell me in detail what is going on."
